La Paryse- Montreal, Canada

hmmmm....was ok- I think there are better to be had in Montreal!

Dumont Burger- Brooklyn, NY

 OK- so this place makes all this NY City lists as one of the top burgers.  It took us an hour and a half to get there from Princeton- quite the road trip!  Then I found a parking place exactly in front of the burger joint- no lie! Made my whole day and got me over the drive.  Then they are also know for mac-n-cheese which we ordered as an appetizer.  Frankly, my mac-n-cheese is better.  We all ordered different burgers. All were good, bordering on great but just missed the mark.  What was excellent was the cheeses this place used- top quality and they did not skimp on you.  The big plus is that they are now doing signature artisan doughnuts.  Yeah, well I'm not ranking doughnuts but I didn't pass up the chance to make sure they were doing them right!  Order 'em- they are goooooood!  I'd go back to this place but it's not #1 when you can go to Minetta Tavern and have my now, #1 burger on the list!

Abbey Burger Bistro- Baltimore, MD

This is "ok". Probably would have been really good if they hadn't over cooked it. How do you overcook Kobe beef?  I mean really.  There are better burgers to be had!

Canada Steak Burger- San Diego, CA

My web research says this is the #1 burger in San Diego. I say- debatable at best!  I was told by a San Diego Cop that I didn't really belong in that area of town so I guess my advice is, take a body guard if you go!  This is just an ordinary dive. Not rank-able with the big boys, but worth a stop if you're in San Diego.
